3) Mary and Dan each improved their yards by planting rose bushes and ivy. They bought their supplies from the same store. Mary spent $140 on 14 rose bushes and 10 pots of ivy. Dan spent S24 on 2 rose bushes and 2 pots of ivy. What is the cost of one rose bush and the cost of one pot of ivy?

x² + 11x + 18 < 0  

[-11 ± sqrt(121 - 72)]/2 = (-11 ± 7)/2  

solution: (-9, -2)

step-by-step explanation:

you are playing an adventure game on your computer. you come across a troll who won't let you pass and there is no other way to get to the other side of the river except over the bridge he is guarding.

the troll is a nerd. he takes great delight in watching people struggle with his problems. very few get them. he only gives you one chance and then he changes the puzzle. you have to solve this one.

before you are four blocks. they are numbered 11,6, -7,21.

he tells that the answer he wants is minus and between -1 and - 2. you can use +, -, ×, ÷   ( and ) as many times as you like or no times at all. you don't like the way he's looking at you, but you need to cross the bridge. what do you do?

the answer is 15 to your question
